Great secret! I do the same thing, even if I'm doing something else on the computer or around the house or while working, I keep the SP tab open. It's great when I need a reminder to eat right or encouragement or motivation...all I have to do is click the tab and I'm on SP...love it!

This is how I'm going to stay motivated---by keeping up with SP every day, too! (and keeping the website open).

Good girl!

This is the 2nd internet window I open at work. As I drink my water, I click the button and do a little dance in my chair. When I am munching my carrots, I track it right away. It helps me know how many calories I have left for the day when I have tracked everything I brought with me. Helps when people bring goodies to work, too. I can track everything before I even take a nibble!

This is my personal motivator while at work. Here @ the hospital too many birthdays, celebrations, and rewards that focus on food.

I keep suggesting that we get an extra 15mins to walk around the block as a reward, no one in management takes this seriously.

Hehehehe, me too!

Spark People EVERYWHERE

I keep Spark People open on my computer at work all day long, I have the app running on my phone all day long, and I keep it on my laptop all night long. This way, its always there reminding me that if I'm going to pop that handful of pringles in my face, its gotta go in the tracker, and I will have to be accountable for that choice!

Eat lots of fibre

What's The Date Opened on that Container of Cheese?

When I buy some cottage cheese,sour cream, or another container of something to eat,after I open it, I mark with a permanent black marker the date OPENED and label it on the top of the container so I know HOW LONG that particular container of food has been opened. I DON'T want to visit the Emergency Room of a hospital because I couldn't smell something and ate something bad.[Right now I have Sinuitis --blockage in the nose- so it limits my sense of smell].
